Just a quick one to those who are asking, the envelope filter pedal I am using in the intro jam is a Way Huge Attack Vector www.andertons.co.uk/way-huge-wm92-smalls-attack-vector-phaser-envelope-pedal
Wondering if you could please update us, what are currently your favourite S2 and favourite SE (without any modifications or upgrades)? Your videos are all amazing, and I wish Andertons had a branch in Houston!
@@nathanielvargas3863 there are a few pictures and posts about it online, it's definitely a PRS, with the signature on the headstock and everything. It looks great tbh.
I've considered selling my core 245 to buy both of them. But then I think of what Pete said in the video, the more expensive one just gives you a little bit more, and I love that little bit more. But I'd be happy with the two SE's
I agree but the Silver Sky SE should have a maple board to offset the rosewood on the DGT. I am halfway there after trading in my rosewood silver sky for a maple. Now I gotta wait until the DGT gets to Canada(2024?).
I love the direction they're moving with the maple boards. I was just about to get another strat too. Maybe this will hold me off for a while until I find one in the wild.
These fun little laugh sessions are a fabulous break in any old day! Thanks guys. p.s. Danish Pete is just a very nice guy, and a super-tasteful player.
There’s a similar difference between an SE 594 and a core 594. The core pickups are sweeter with a bigger dynamic range. But they’re amazingly close. Way closer than their prices. And the more compressed SE had a little more high mid bite. So it’s actually better for just rocking out.
Picked up a summit purple model over July 4th weekend. I put PRS locking tuners on it. It’s a great guitar. The pickups are higher output than the US Silver Sky & average Strat (around 8.4 K vs the typical 6.2 K). It gives them a wider tonal range because you can dial back the volume.
I totally get and hear what Pete is talking about, I had 4 SE's before I bought my Core model. SE gives you the feel and tone on a budget but the Core version feels even better and the pickups have more clarity, depth and more dynamics. In my point of view it totally worth the extra. I'm going even further, I was a Fender guy before, now I don't have any, because this does the Fender thing even better to me.
A study by Arthur Pate et al. at the Sorbonne in Paris showed that necks with rosewood or maple fretboards varied considerably in their resonance properties, more than the difference between the rosewood group and the maple group... even for nominally identical guitars (except for the fretboard wood) made in the same factory. If you can hear the difference between a maple fretboard and a rosewood fretboard in the electric sound, which I'm skeptical about, it's more likely due to variations from guitar to guitar than the difference between a rosewood sound and a maple sound. It may be a matter of how dry the wood is, with a newer guitar sounding slightly different from an older one. Given that, it's going to be hard to do a really good test of rosewood vs. maple. You need to swap necks on the same guitar, keeping the pickup height the same, and make sure what you're hearing isn't something stupid like the difference between a well-cut nut and a poorly-cut nut, or a neck that has dried for a few more months since its manufacture, or some odd difference in the pickups due to variations in manufacturing.
Wow FINALLY I hear a difference between a $1,000 and $3,000. I noticed it when Pete started playing the gray ones. Maybe it's because it was clean not sure. But there definitely was a difference.
@@void_snw I bet it's the winding. Gibson overwinds the Probucker to kill Epiphone tone. Funny thing is Rhett Shull did a side by side of a 1959 LP vs a new EPI. They sounded identical. I guess if you want that classic "59 tone just toss in a set of Probuckers😂😂😂
Beside the pickups the SE are acoustically a bit more dull sounding, the core give more ring to the notes… if it’s worth the price difference ?? Depends on what you think is important for your sound and what you play ..
Literally the dream team and the best duo since the chuckle brothers! 😂 Love Andertons, love your shop and love your channel. Still like going to Mecca when I drive down from Lincolnshire. Now, which colour do I go for?
Been playing since the 60,s and I played one of the USA models (slightly used) and it was like wow, I bonded with it, had that special something. Alas , I still couldn't afford it. Not saying I don't love the SE version. But I'm telling you the USA is a killer.😊
I wish you could get the blue one with the rosewood board. I'm not a fan of maple boards, but that'd the only decent finish they've released for these so far.
I got myself a SE Silver Sky from the internet sight unseen. Stone Blue colour with the gig bag. Im just an amateur who used to play punk rock. I dont own expensive guitars. To me, the SESS is my most expensive guitar I own. It’s not perfect when it arrive. Had some crooked knobs, some fret buzz, one fret dot marking were not fully round. Got most of it fixed by a luthier. Now, It plays very well. Comfortable neck, amazing pick-up which handles distortion well. Fav position 5 and 4. The volume across all position are the same! Impressive tones. I love to play it everyday. Something that I really like about PRS is in the pups and the neck. The sensitive touch between the strings and fret.
Just how much respect does Danish Pete get ?? Sire with P90's after Pete requesting one, I see a Purple top L7 coming, and now after suggesting a purple Silver Sky SE at the end of the first review last year while showing off his custom color Amer. model, we have Summit Purple excellent work Pete P.S a purple MusicMan Cutlass would be nice
I bought my Moc sand silver sky at the end of 2019 and it took me until this year to get used to the neck after countless setup adjustments… never got it to really “click” for me until this year and it’s now my go-to over my Strat. Even with my dinky Fender Mustang GT40 amp it manages to sound good. Would loved to get my hands on a tone master Deluxe Reverb eventually.
I had the Rosewood one before, was great, but Im good with 1 strat style guitar and my favorite is the regular strat vintage tone. Nash guitars nail that, but now downsizing and sold the Nash and got the Silver Sky Maple SE for the extra money. And damn, Im liking it even more than before. Loos much nicer, got the grey one, maple just looks cool, I do dig the grey inlays and grey tuners. And sounds wonderful. Is not the vintage start tone, is more high fi sounding, but is nice, especially clean is so ebeautiful and clear. But the best is that it just plays so so nice, and the satin of the neck feels great. Just a joy to play this guitar. Dont think will sell this one again, will get a Nash again but will keep this one now. Both guitars worth it to have, and each one have their own thing. But the silver sky is just so fantastic, PRS just knows how to do things. This year is the year I completely converted into a PRS fanboy hehe.
27:00 $800 US is where the ROI curve peaks and starts to flatten out. Everything beyond that is just a personal preference type thing the a player just wants to have. Not a good or bad thing, just a preference. The only bad time is when a manufacturer wants more than $800 US for a guitar that does not even reach that point on the curve. Then you are just buying a name. There are a lot of those out there now.
Sire guitars beat everything all to hell. Sire is the real deal strat and tele and 335 and jazzmaster and les paul. They are all leaps and bounds ahead of anything I've played in a long time. Been a guitar tech for over 47 yrs and I fell in love with Sire guitars. I think you will too!
I think the colors and their names would be better suited for decent American interior design. Maybe things got mixed up, and some home interior chain over there suddenly has curtains in the colors Sparrow Surf Blue, Sea Apple Green, Cheeky Lady Pink etc in their shop.
Cool comparison - in my ears (through my Studio Monitors), the big one sounds a bit more sparkling, maybe in a bit less lower mids and stronger top end. I would choose the SE and invest the difference in great education ... ;) thanks! Well done video.
Not to be a hater but all the coloured finishes look like toys to me. If they added a subtle sparkle to them they'd look a million times better. It's black or grey for me
I was thinking of getting one of these before but went with the PRS SE Custom 24-08 in Verde. I love love love that guitar. I really am liking the look of this new blue color though. Could be one in my future.
It's a Way Huge Attack Vector www.andertons.co.uk/way-huge-wm92-smalls-attack-vector-phaser-envelope-pedal?gclid=CjwKCAjwm4ukBhAuEiwA0zQxkyOXqAD56mVqcBN_UGu1Cw-Uqoy3-G5JS3vCOVbXieNpKIt1HFwplhoCMlgQAvD_BwE
My biggest regret is the awful painful loss of my much loved Strat that i experienced about 8 years ago. technically a parts caster that i built back before it became outragously expensive. I bought a avri 57 neck from the U.S and when i unwrapped it i discovered the neck date matched my birthday, as well the carve perfectly matching my handle!. I bought authentic U.S avri everything down to the neck plate with the 'v' serial number and a Ocean Turquoise 57_62 avri body. It was completed with a full kinman woodstock plus system that was sublime. It was the most beautiful looking, sounding and playing guitar ive ever seen and that was echoed without exception by everyones who played it. Suffice it to say i was involuntarily parted from my baby and suffered serious emotional damage. However. I have now been blessed by the release of the new vintera 2! My problem is the nylon blue prs does complicate matters a tad. Now, i do love the v neck with the vintage radius so in short, which do i buy?!! Is the neck on the prs very different? Im torn...
I heard an immediate difference when Pete picked up the black rosewood model. Maybe it’s the pickup height, but it sounded a lot better, more output possibly.
Tried a prs se j mayer last year ....mmm...not overwhelmed....in my local guitar shop here in the Netherlands you had every fender / fender custom shop/ prs you could want ....i ended buying a hand made .reliced 63 strat built here in Holland by Kauffmann ...easily on par with anything fender custom shop puts out...all for the price of a silver sky....not saying the silver sky is bad ..just if your after vintage tones check out local builders you might be surprised what you can afford...
huge John Mayer and PRS fan, I even have the first 3 birds tattooed on my arm but I never liked the original finishes of the SE's but man, as soon as I saw the Piano Black, I desperately WANT one!
Well, I won’t let the world wait! It depends on what tone and feel I am looking for to be honest. Different sound and feel. I do recommend to try it out. 🤘💜
Always Love you Guys and your reviews ... The Captains guitar playing has evolved into that of a a Great communicator, very tasty and poignant ... Pete as always is the Great Noodler ? ... I mean that in a good way ... capable of any style or tone at any time with a great sense of ease and flair. Love these Guitars but I am more than happy with my Fender and G&L "strats" . Also love the Sterling Cutlass ct-50's by Music Man and their Roasted maple necks for low $$$! Oh and its good to see Pete with an actual Purple guitar vs his Violet Tele! : ) !🙂
I really like the maple neck. I’m currently playing a fender American standard Strat. How do these stack up against them, I’m looking for something a little warmer ,
I was lucky enough to win an SE Silver Sky ( Dragon Fruit ) . It’s a great guitar but never a £900 one . The neck profile is great -easy to play but feel is like a Yamaha Pacifica . It’s as Strat like as a Player but is lighter and easier to play . If you pay a bit more than the £900 asking price of the new maple neck ones you’re up to DGT SE and McCarty 594 SE which look fabulous and sound great in any dems I’ve watched . Haven’t tried to make the trem float yet as I’ve enjoyed playing with the bridge flat down -that’s the description of the way it’s delivered as is JM preference-that’s an experiment for another day . Can’t imagine the core model is worth the extra money and I love the neck profile on the SE , so easy to play and bends are choke free .
Love the maple and I can hear the difference. A good thing to do as listen to the low E and A string especially when playing the lower notes. The maple will still give you some chime but the rosewood will sound noticeably muffled in comparison. So on Strat and Tele sounds I only want maple. On other guitars especially with hummies it doesn't matter. My own guitars cover, HB, P90, Strat, Tele, Gretsch, gold Foil and even Rickenbacker sounds. i have 10 guitars, they cover all the bases and I take all 10 of them to my gigs and spread them out equally over 32 tunes.
@@andertons thanks for the info! I've been waiting for an alternative colour since they were released, and the piano black (if that's a colour) looks great!

this was the most chaotic episode on andertons in a long time. i'm here for it
Im 1000% sure it's because its J9hn Mayer related
This set of colors are far nicer than the first launch colors
I agree!!
Apart from Moon White which is really nice 👌
Yep, launch colours were truly awful- (PRS owner here).
Sold the dragon fruit an got myself a nylon blue, hit hit
That's because anything tesla is garbage
I’m beyond ready for a real appearance from John on here!
He should pop over during the European leg of his tour; that would be hilarious
The maple fretboards were inevitable. Can't wait for the PRS version of the Tele.
O think you can find clues on the guitar Myles Kennedy is playing these days… looks like a T Style guitar with humbuckers
@@guguslive Good catch! I didn't even notice he had that T Style PRS. Also it looks amazing!
@@guguslive wow. I just looked it up. It looks like it could be a schecter guitar.
@@nathanielvargas3863 there are a few pictures and posts about it online, it's definitely a PRS, with the signature on the headstock and everything. It looks great tbh.
@@phillsmith5655 I know it’s a PRS it just looks like an ugly Schecter style guitar
Man. The blue one is clean.
Finally real playing on the neck pickup! Thank you. Sounded great.
I love these blindfold shootouts. I don't care if you can tell the difference or not, just keep doing them!
A Silver Sky SE and DGT SE would complete my must need guitars to cover the tones I need in the studio.
I've considered selling my core 245 to buy both of them. But then I think of what Pete said in the video, the more expensive one just gives you a little bit more, and I love that little bit more. But I'd be happy with the two SE's

Yes!!! I’ve been waiting for this video!!! Thanks Andertons
I love the banter between you guys! Always great fun, love your videos!
I love the direction they're moving with the maple boards. I was just about to get another strat too. Maybe this will hold me off for a while until I find one in the wild.
Hey Lee, its Dan and this is just the video I needed to see!!!! Thanks !
Your best episodes are the ones that don’t go smooth. You guys had me cracking up a few times. The pedal board fiasco 😂
It was certainly a “last video of the day” and “last minute” and “the video needs to go like tomorrow”kinda vibe 😂
These fun little laugh sessions are a fabulous break in any old day! Thanks guys.
p.s. Danish Pete is just a very nice guy, and a super-tasteful player.
The purple one is just stunningly beautiful!!! I got mine and i cant be happier with it!!! 💜
Can't believe they low key confirmed a T-style PRS @ 28:26. Probably a Myles Kennedy sig...
In wine red or dark cherry please...
Even the great Philip Sayce has been playing a silver sky this year!
There’s a similar difference between an SE 594 and a core 594. The core pickups are sweeter with a bigger dynamic range. But they’re amazingly close. Way closer than their prices. And the more compressed SE had a little more high mid bite. So it’s actually better for just rocking out.

Definitely a difference in sound and feel. Couldnt tell you what the rosewood was but I could easily hear the midrange pop with the maple.
Love these new strats from PRS. 🖤
I'm tempted to wait for the stunning flamed tops that PRS are known for. I LOVE these maple necks though. They are so comfortable.

I'm still a bit of a Fender guy because PRS doesn't make a Telecaster yet.
Really good sounding guitars. You always have to choose the one guitar that gives you the right feeling... 😊🤘

Warmoth does shoot-outs like this and confirms most of what you're saying
The solo tour was awesome I’m going to go again when he hits Chicago again in October
Got the stone blue silver sky se ! LOVE IT. ❤
I’ve been waiting on this video!
Wow FINALLY I hear a difference between a $1,000 and $3,000. I noticed it when Pete started playing the gray ones. Maybe it's because it was clean not sure. But there definitely was a difference.
I wanna bet it's pickup height / windings.

Love Andertons, love your shop and love your channel. Still like going to Mecca when I drive down from Lincolnshire.
Now, which colour do I go for?
PRS - please do the signature model with the maple board but with solid inlays. They look much better than the outline version 😊
Here in Houston Texas. I constantly see these up for resale. I don't know if people regret buying them, but man they're very common on resale
I appreciate them doing the blue with a maple neck, so I have one more excuse to tell my wife when I get my second SE SS.
Been playing since the 60,s and I played one of the USA models (slightly used) and it was like wow, I bonded with it, had that special something. Alas , I still couldn't afford it. Not saying I don't love the SE version. But I'm telling you the USA is a killer.😊

Lighters in the air for the best youtube entertainment today.
Just bought a dragonfruit & a 594 se mccarty,both great guitars
Much better value too
I know this is supposed to be about the maple necks but that gray one with the rosewood looks really good.
just so it's out there the mini comparison at 25:30 the se is on neck pickup and the American is on 4th position
That's weird. I really think the maple necked Silver Sky's had more "quack". Not only that but the last SE grey was my favourite for tones. Best Pete.
Finally the grey color in the SE line
i think i’m gonna buy this new prs se and switch the neck with my prs se polar blue. it’s gonna be cool isn’t it?

I can easily hear how maple is brighter and rosewood has more bottom end and punch.
When will John Mayer pay a visit to andertonsTv? That will be epic.
As someone who is I find it hilarious that even the power of John (compels you!) Could not get Lee into the Dead.

I heard an immediate difference when Pete picked up the black rosewood model. Maybe it’s the pickup height, but it sounded a lot better, more output possibly.
I think you are right, I feel it’s more likely to be pickup height…
The grey one is basically the same colour as Clapton's original signature Fender. Or as they called it then, 'pewter.'
I have a mate who has perfect pitch and synesthesia. Super guitarist… you need him on here to tell you exactly what sounds like what.
Tried a prs se j mayer last year ....mmm...not overwhelmed....in my local guitar shop here in the Netherlands you had every fender / fender custom shop/ prs you could want ....i ended buying a hand made .reliced 63 strat built here in Holland by Kauffmann ...easily on par with anything fender custom shop puts out...all for the price of a silver sky....not saying the silver sky is bad ..just if your after vintage tones check out local builders you might be surprised what you can afford...
huge John Mayer and PRS fan, I even have the first 3 birds tattooed on my arm but I never liked the original finishes of the SE's but man, as soon as I saw the Piano Black, I desperately WANT one!
Pete, the world must know - do you play using the more round shoulder of your pick, or the normal tip of the pick??
Well, I won’t let the world wait! It depends on what tone and feel I am looking for to be honest. Different sound and feel. I do recommend to try it out. 🤘💜
Always Love you Guys and your reviews ... The Captains guitar playing has evolved into that of a a Great communicator, very tasty and poignant ... Pete as always is the Great Noodler ? ... I mean that in a good way ... capable of any style or tone at any time with a great sense of ease and flair. Love these Guitars but I am more than happy with my Fender and G&L "strats" . Also love the Sterling Cutlass ct-50's by Music Man and their Roasted maple necks for low $$$! Oh and its good to see Pete with an actual Purple guitar vs his Violet Tele! : ) !🙂
Lee never fails to deliver his signature Leeck.
I really like the maple neck. I’m currently playing a fender American standard Strat. How do these stack up against them, I’m looking for something a little warmer ,
2:05 Where does Pete get his (auto-)wah from? There's no such pedal on his board, is there?
It's a Way Huge Attack Vector... It's brilliant.
@@danishpete Thank you very much. I feel stupid. Certainly had seen that, but why did I think it was just another OD? It sounds great.
Fun video, guys!
Lee please tell paul to manufacture left handed se,s.
When there is no one else if you suck you are still the best.
I was lucky enough to win an SE Silver Sky ( Dragon Fruit ) . It’s a great guitar but never a £900 one . The neck profile is great -easy to play but feel is like a Yamaha Pacifica . It’s as Strat like as a Player but is lighter and easier to play . If you pay a bit more than the £900 asking price of the new
maple neck ones you’re up to DGT SE and McCarty 594 SE which look fabulous and sound great in any dems I’ve watched . Haven’t tried to make the trem float yet as I’ve enjoyed playing with the bridge flat down -that’s the description of the way it’s delivered as is JM preference-that’s an experiment for another day . Can’t imagine the core model is worth the extra money and I love the neck profile on the SE , so easy to play and bends are choke free .
That jam in the end deserves a 4 minute track
Love the maple and I can hear the difference. A good thing to do as listen to the low E and A string especially when playing the lower notes. The maple will still give you some chime but the rosewood will sound noticeably muffled in comparison. So on Strat and Tele sounds I only want maple. On other guitars especially with hummies it doesn't matter. My own guitars cover, HB, P90, Strat, Tele, Gretsch, gold Foil and even Rickenbacker sounds. i have 10 guitars, they cover all the bases and I take all 10 of them to my gigs and spread them out equally over 32 tunes.
very nice looking guitars, but dunno somehow I'm not too blown by it's sound. i guess I'll have to try on my own set up and see what it sounds like.
Could anyone tell me what the difference between the reissue and the older model? Is it just the board material and colour or are there more?
"...little more CHUNK in your hands!" [Pete's face] -> 7:26 😅
I have a dragonfruit one from last year but now I want the blue maple one too 😢
Great video! Any idea when they’ll be dispatched?
Delivery details are on our site - 1st shipment is due this month, but the numbers are pretty small, so I expect you'll need to pre order to get one.
@@andertons thanks for the info! I've been waiting for an alternative colour since they were released, and the piano black (if that's a colour) looks great!
I can't believe Danish Pete would stoop so low as to play the purple one!
Are these bad for people with small
Fingers and hands ?
